That being said, we have a 2 hour delay. Anyway, it has been awhile since I have posted. I had a great Christmas break, catching up with family, and making many lasting memories. Here's a snapshot of my break:

I had a wonderful time hanging out with my family. This is a picture of my siblings and my two cousins on the Harnly side of the family.

I also had a great time catching up with many friends from college. The two highlights from new years weekend was a motorcycle ride at 1:30 in the morning. (Yupp! and it was awesome! :) and ice skating (which I dont have a picture of. Check facebook.) Overall, I had a blast being home!

Now I'm back here. We havent had plumbing since I returned almost a month ago. Bring out the 5 - gallon bucket! :) Occasionally we have water, but they havent been able to fix anything due to the extreme cold temperatures we have been having. There have been many power outages, and many hours without heat. Trust me, you realize how blessed we are to have water, electricity, and plumbing. It has been a constant reminder to thank God for all the blessings He has given me.

As requested by my mom, I took a video of my walk home from school. For whatever reason, I cannot upload it to the blog or youtube, so I will do my best to make sure it gets on facebook tonight or tomorrow. It has been to cold for our cameras to stay on, so no one has been able to capture the fun that we have every day! :) I'll try to post pictures of the snow drifts soon, but some of the drifts are taller than our houses! It's quite the chore to walk, or should I say hike, to school and back everyday! 

As always, thank you for all the prayers and support! God is working, and I hope to post some awesome stories in the near future. 

Stay Warm! - Kersten
